Pens Win Using Sens Home Ice Disadvantage

Looks like Matt Cooke had plenty of oatmeal raisin cookies before the game last night.

I can’t comment for the whole game as i started watching from the 3rd period on. Pens were down 3-1. MouthFullOfTang mentioned that its probably the worst score to be winning by. The gap is big enough for the winning team to relax but at the same time gap is small enough for the losing team to start playing and scoring one goal gives huge momentum shift. It looked like momentum shift happened right after Poni put one top shelf but the goal was waived off because Geno was pushed into Leclaire. Bullshit call because we all know that Geno wouldn’t even hurt a fly.

In my opinion that was the pivotal point in the game … momentum shift … and after that well the game was mine!

Billy G followed by Cookie Monster … headed to OT. Good Pascal vs Evil Pascal and Sens headed to the Golf City. Pens win using Sens home ice disadvantage.

Dad was happy!

What is home ice disadvantage you ask me? Its a concept i came up with after pondering about how many teams use white out technique during playoff games. Lets think about this logically. You are playing on home ice typically using dark color jersey … your opponent is using white jersey. Now if your whole arena is white then your opponents white jersey will blend in with the background color. Your peripheral vision will not be able to easily pick out opponent players. Simple as that! So instead of the white out home arenas have to do black out if they truly want to help their team.

Tickets for the next two home games go on sale Monday at noon.

> If WASHINGTON and BUFFALO win their series:
Penguins play Buffalo Sabres (home-ice advantage – Buffalo).

> If WASHINGTON and BOSTON win their series:
Penguins play Boston Bruins (home-ice advantage – Pittsburgh).

> If MONTREAL and BUFFALO win their series:
Penguins play Philadelphia Flyers (home-ice advantage – Pittsburgh).

> If MONTREAL and BOSTON win their series:
Penguins play Montreal Canadiens (home-ice advantage – Pittsburgh).

Pens In 5 and Yinz Still Luv Da Guins

Here is your new desktop background. Hint: click on it to download high resolution. Thanks Seth from EN for posting it.

Yeah keep talking shit because you don’t have much of anything else to bring forward. Sens like a bunch of circus monkeys tried to put on a show for their home crowd and miserably failed. They only thing they manged to accomplish is injure Tyler Kennedy. TK suffered right leg injury after hit by Andy Sutton in the first period. Hockey wise Sens couldn’t accomplish much against the Pens irresistible force. In fact 2 of their goals was scored in 5-on-3 situation.  As promising Versus statistics suggested Sens had no chance, Pens 7-0 this season when both Crosby and Malkin score. At the end of the 3rd period Ruutu’s last resort tactic of blowing officials did not yield much result. 7-4 Pens win and are leading series 3-1.

Pens are headed home to end this freak show on home ice. Andy Sutton considering career alternatives as a golf expert. Btw, Crosby still sucks …

Foleys atmosphere was unreal last night with exception of some new kids whose hate for Devils this season have clouded their vision and their cheer for Flyers was completely uncalled for. Let me remind you hating Devils is not the same as cheering for Flyers. Know your enemy! Don’t know about ya’ll but i want to face Devils in the playoffs and stick it up to them. Sign ideas include … “You can’t beat us in the playoffs”. I am happy to report that Pens flag above Foleys was once again flying yesterday before the game. Big thanks to Shaun owner of Foley’s Pub.

Jim Shearer who caught a break from his busy working schedule was at Foley’s as well. Sure enough he came out with a new hilarious episode of Yniz Luv Da Guins. I am glad he wasn’t the only Penguin fan on the cruise.

Optional skate today at 1pm showed who wants to get some ice time … Seven Penguins participated in the optional practice at Mellon Arena. Those that laced up the skates are Matt Cooke, Ben Lovejoy, Eric Godard, Ruslan Fedotenko, Deryk Engelland, Brent Johnson and Brad Thiessen. The rest of the Penguins took a well deserved break.

Jordan Staal nominated for Selke Trophy but as Seth from EmptyNetters puts it Staal has no chance of winning it since its “… almost seems like a Gold Glove in baseball. You can seemingly only win it if you’ve won it before. If that makes sense.”

$35,000 and still growing beard-a-thon donations to Mario Lemieux Foundation. New faces include Max Talbot and Pascal Dupuis. Donate today!

Lots of talk about new 3rd alternative jerseys for Penguins that will be coming out later this year. Quote taken from here.

New alternate jersey It’s been widely rumored and now Reebok is confirming that the Penguins will ditch their powder blue thirds in favor of a new alternate uniform for 2010-11. Once again, the manufacturer hasn’t released any details of the design.

However, Tribune-Review beat writer Rob Rossi said in December that blue would be returning in some fashion to the new third jersey. It’s probably a safe bet that the Pens will dig into their past once again for this sweater — likely going with one of the darker blue options.

The home and road jerseys will stay the same.

Another High School Pens Video … don’t these kids have like classes and homework to do or something?

Max Talbot and Boobs

weekend hockey

Monday, March 29th, 2010
Number of View: 225

in my attempt to push the boundaries of english language and due to laziness of using my pinkie finger to hold down shift key i am going to ignore capitalization in this post. it has been a very fruitful weekend for the pens. they have been reaping the fruits of depth on their team against flyers and leafs. there hasn’t been a better time for our boys to step up and say enough is enough. with evgeni malkin still out with a foot injury and sergei gonchar out with some mysterious “sickness” hcdb used “tactical stratigery” to overwhelm the opponent on home ice. one of the reoccurring themes was present in every game this weekend … hcdb in cahoots with maf allows a garbage goal in the beginning of the 1st period in order to get the team going. as the result is the 4-1 win against the flyers and 5-4 win against toronto maple leafs. with devils losing to flyers last night pens are sitting on the top of atlantic division. hero of the week as much as i want to say matt cooke for keeping the pens alive in the game against the leafs i am going to go with pascal the birth canal since i have a funny picture to go along with that. of course can’t give pascal dupuis too much credit to keep him on his toes so i will continue to hate up on him. pascal great shootout goal but you still suck even if you are so awesome.

can they be anymore creepier than this?

thanks to someone on twitter for posting this picture and thanks for @birdmadxgirl for pointing me to http://www.nhlpa.com website which is the original source.

And here’s a new episode (the first episode actually) of the Yinz Luv ‘Da Guins: The Podcast:
http://yinzluv.podbean.com/ (You can also download it on iTunes.)

Penguins earn their first shutout of the season with MAF between the pipes against Bruins. Boston Bruins were so hyped up and focused on getting revenge on Matt Cooke their forgot the most important thing … HOW TO PLAY HOCKEY! Only thing that could have gone better is if Geno was playing and Cookie scored a goal. Not complaining really. Not even going to post the fight between Cooke and Thornton … just want to get this all over with. Not sure what Mike Rupp was thinking fighting Chara but i don’t think he landed a single punch on Chara’s face … it was just too far away.

Pens Fall To Habs But Geno and Bylsma Are Here To Cheer You Up

Saturday, February 6th, 2010
Number of View: 607

Pens fall to Montreal CanadiEns 5-3.

Pascal Dupuis (13) and Bill Guerin  (17) both had a goal. Evgeni Malkin (20) with a beautiful goal coming out of penalty box on a break away. Seems like Fluery never fully recovered after the first goal which should have been an interference call. He was pulled after 4th goal against him and Brent Johnson took his place. Crosby reached 300 assists in his NHL career.

Now here is something to cheer you up. Thanks to Evgeni Malkin Girlfriend forums for this one. I found the following images and a funny story behind them showing typical Geno’s funny side. The article is from sovsport.ru and is in Russain but i will translate the funny part. Hope it makes you smile!

Story Behind Pictures – “Geno write, ‘I Love My Coach’ ”

At the end of the interview i asked Malkin to participate in a photo session. At first I wanted to take  a picture of Malkin with Mario Lemieux – who is heart and soul of Pittsburgh Penguins. Even Mellon Arena is located on the street named after Mario.

Super Mario is owner of Pittsburgh Penguins and every so often after games he comes into the locker room. However, its strictly prohibited for media personnel to bother Mario. If Mario gives interview to one reporter than all of them come rushing in after. As a result Mario would forget his role of being quiet and retired millionaire and would turn into a “talking head”.

“Unfortunately, you can’t even take pictures with Mario. We are not going to bother him.” we were told.

To my reporters luck into the locker room walked in Sidney Crosby. He already put on his suit, fixed his blue tie, and styled his hair with gel. He gladly agreed to take a picture with his friend Geno.


“Is it ok if Geno is half a head taller than i am?” – jokingly asked Sidney.

… After that i asked Geno to write “To Vancouver!” on the board with a marker since in a week Olympics are starting.

Geno agreed. While he was busy enthusiastically writing the message, head coach Dan Bylsma walked by. He noticed that someone dared to write something on the board where he usually draws his game plans. “I love coach!” – exclaimed Dan in hopes that is what Geno is writing.

Geno translated, “Dan said that i am GREAT and an awesome Russian guy!”


Geno added a message for fans, “Cheer for us! Lets hope you have a great spirit that we can feed on. In return we will make you happy!”

Caps tomorrow!
